Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

I really don’t even know how to begin with this thing. its a strange story that goes back to heaven knows when. its about a chair that’s called the Santa chair. I’m not sure when it was made or where it is from. the truth is: I’ve only heard a story and I’ve seen a few strange things happen with this thing. but man, its a trippy story!

Here’s the story:

the Santa Chair has claimed 13 lives, that is, 13 people have died while sitting in the chair. I have a list of names if you’re interested. The list is not complete. The chair cant be photographed. I mean clearly. I have pictures in my submissions but all of them are a bit strange. The first pic is from – what I’m told – 1925. Now before you scream “photoshopped!” I have a second pic of the original picture itself. I also have 10 or so more photos. All of them have little things that are just plain weird. You can take pics of it but none of them ever seem to be clear. People have pointed out a great many strange things in the old photo. I can kinda see some of them, others I cant see at all. People also see strange things in the new photos. Again, I can kinda see some of them and not others.

This is just kinda the half of it. There’s a big old story that goes along with it. I’d be happy to share it with anybody interested. A lot of it seems kinda far fetched to me. For that matter, pretty much all of it is far fetched to me.

Where I got it:

The short story is I got it from my fiancé’s mom. She gave it to me. I might add that I thought it looked cool and she seemed eager to give it to me. My fiancé’s mom claims that it was around her whole life. My fiancé herself hates the thing and I mean really hates the thing. She wont go in the room with it. So it sits in a room all by itself that we almost never use. We throw a box or two in there now and then to store. When I say “we” I mean me.

The facts that I know:

Nobody has a clue why its called the Santa Chair.
Light bulbs burn out very fast in the room its in.
I have two more photos from what I’m told is 1925 of the chair. they are both odd.
Often a picture of it wont turn out at all. I have a ton of blurry pics where you can see next to nothing.
Many of my friends feel strange when they enter the room and only see the back of the chair.
I was told to never sell the chair but id be happy to sell it. I have a few people interested in it now.
My kitty died in the chair. I miss him.
I’ve sat in the chair once and had a coughing fit for whatever reason.
The chair is in almost perfect shape to this day.

For the record:

I’m not a paranormalist. I don’t believe in ghosts or aliens or any of that. People might think I’m full of bull and that’s ok. I really couldn’t blame them.

In closing:

To me it’s just a strange little tale and you gotta admit, its a scary looking little chair. If you have any comments or questions please feel free to email me or p.m. me (User ID Bladen on the True Ghost Tales forum). I’ll continue to upload pics as long as people are interested. Any thoughts would be welcome. All of the pics can be veiwed at http://www.ebaumsworld.com/bladen. I’ll ad new pics often thanks for reading.
